As I was trying to decide what to write about last night, I couldn\’t land on one single thing. A lot happened this week! First off, my sister and Tanner announced that they were expecting a baby in July! They told us on Christmas, and I had to keep that secret for a whole month. […]
Figured it was time for a little update on my book writing journey! In the last blog post about it, I mentioned that I was waiting for feedback from a couple of beta readers before I would be about done. For those who don\’t know what beta readers are, essentially they are total strangers who

One thing that I have always struggled with is how self-conscience I am about my weight. I have never been very overweight by any means, but I constantly compare myself to others (something I know I shouldn\’t do) and I feel bad about myself if I don\’t look a certain way. In my early years

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, despite all the restrictions and uncertainty going on right now. I for one, had a great time with my family and Dan’s family as well. It was different than past years, but still good! On Thanksgiving day, we started the day as we usually do at the Reiffenberger
